what biscuit do you dunk ?

Can you imagine a cup of tea without a Hob-nob to keep it company ? Hob-nobs are best for staying intact but being absorbant . For a bit of decadence you can't beat the Lotus Caramelised biscuits but be aware , they have no staying power ! ( 2 for 1 in Morrison's at the moment )You havn't had a cup of tea if there is no deposit in the bottom of the cup!! Live dangerously n dunk , life is too short for a clean cup .

Ginger snaps for me.

good old fashioned digestive biscuits

Nothing to beat a nice digestive with a slice of red leicester cheese on top liberally covered with onion pickle.

Hadn't thought of decorating the digestives. Even chocolate digestives seem wrong. Might risk experimenting with some ginger preserve and cucumber slices to see what happens

Absolutely nothing.

Kit Kats, Twixes or anything else with chocolate on.

And you dip this?

Ginger snaps would be my choice of biscuit for dipping.

Just had a bourbon for the first time in years. Hugely disappointing.

Custard creams.

You dip half the biscuit in and then have the following options :

1. suck off the engorged biscuit bit of the wet half, leaving half a dry biscuit and most of the newly-stripped half's custard filling, (together with a tapered remnant of wet biscuit) - perhaps taking off a slight amount of custard filling - then either bite off the rest of the wet bit (majority custard filling) or eat the entire remnant

2. eat the entire wet half, then eat the remaining dry half (or dip half or all of it depending on taste, and whether you want wet fingers)

3. eat the entire half-dunked biscuit

I don't try and dunk any more than half of a custard cream any more. Too many tears, too many bitter memories, too much pain and loss.

Pengiuns are the best for me!

Rich Tea, Shortbread, and just about anything else that doesn't have chocolate.

You can't dunk too long but it's nice.
What's wrong with rich tea Ali????

I like the kitkats dunked, but only naked ones with the choc all nibbled off.

You can't dunk too long??!!! You can't dunk at all. You've practically got to have your chin in the tea so that you can catch the mush instantaneously generated by the meeting of rich tea and tea. A ridiculous biscuit.
